History:
The Raven was the Seventh Earl of Ravenscourt, an innocent man falsely framed
for theft by his villainous brother Sebastian, and sent to Dartmoor Prison.
He escaped, and vowed that he would always help any other innocents should
they likewise be wrongly imprisoned. Now, as the Raven, he hides out in the
abandoned Ravencourt Manor, kept company only by a lone bird, his namesake.
"Some say he is a ghost, some say he is a modern day crusader taking up arms
to help others. To some he is a product of the imagination."

(Raven Comics #5) Bully Moyes, convicted for murder during a robbery,
broke out of prison and sought out the Raven. He claimed that it was his
partner O'Toole who killed the victim, a partner who got away, and who now
lies dying. Pleading for the Raven to help him before his one chance of proving
his innocence passed away, he convinced the masked man to check out his story.
The Raven travelled to London, where he broke into O'Toole's home, and asked
him to confirm Moyes account of events. At first the partner agreed with
what Moyes told the Raven, but the Raven, noting from the crosses O'Toole
had in the room that he was religious, asked him to swear on the cross taht
what he had told was the truth. O'Toole reluctantly admitted he was covering
for his former friend, figuring that with death imminent, he would take the
fall. The Raven returned to the Manor, where Moyes had been hiding out, and
promised to return him to prison. But Moyes made a run for it...straight
into the police, who gunned him down when he tried to shoot his way out.
